One Pineapple, Two Pineapple, Three Pineapple, Four!

We were in a pineapple kind of mood yesterday!

I am so impressed with the whole venue here in Amherst, NY.

This seminar has been going on for 40 years strong, and it is so well organized. If you get a chance to come this direction in September – if you are close enough to make a road trip ---believe me, it’s worth it!

Being this far north in New York, my classes have been nearly equally Canadian as they are American ---fun!

We also had quite a contingency of Scottish Canadians with us…..including MASCOTS!

This is for those who attend the Dear Jane retreats in Shipshewana – do you recognize this guy??

Shougal McDougal!

Shougal McDougal the Highland Coo travels around wherever quilters gather and has been known to create mischeif in Shipshewana --- here he is in Amherst!

Blocks WITH sashing ((there will be cornerstones))

We love quilts with OPTIONS!

You'll find the free pattern for Pineapple Blossom under the Free Patterns tab at the top of the blog :)

No sewing happened last night. I was in bed by 7:30 ---and asleep by 9:30 after a couple episodes I barely watched of Law & Order SVU – I just couldn’t make myself do ANYTHING! But I’m happy to report after a full night of blissful restful sleep – I’m up and at it and raring to go for today’s Crumbs, Crumbs, Crumbs workshop.
